All backed up by outstanding customer service.

300million years in the making, The Dales Way is formed in the East from great slabs of limestone have been scarred and broken throughout the ice age to form deep vertical planes and isolated hills. In the West you will enjoy the landscapes formed by the movement of the earths surface which pushed ancient rock to the surface creating the splendour of the Lake District.

The path undulates from valley floors to hawthorn laden uplands all the while clinging to the edges of the ever diminishing river Warfe.

Every turn brings more and more splendour with fantastical waterfalls and unforgettable views. As you head towards the Lakes, you amble down Dentdale and finally the walk climaxes in the shadows of Howgill Fells.
